We were the first in North America to grow species such as Glossostipula concinna, Zinowiewia matudae, Lozanella enantiophylla, Weinmannia pinnata, Meliosma matudae, Cedrela salvadorensis, and Heberdenia penduliflora. Over the decades, the collection has matured into a realistic representation of cloud forest habitat.
The Silky Terrier dog breed exemplifies the expression âsmall dog, big personality.â Weighing just eight to 10 pounds when full grown, heâs tough and confident, perhaps because of his heritage as a hunter of small prey. Beneath the feistiness, however, is a loving companion dog who loves to stick close to his person.
Because of their small size, females sometimes have problems delivering puppies. The toy-sized dogs weigh about 7 pounds. They are referred to as teacup Yorkshire terriers when they weigh less than 4 pounds. Yorkies of less than 4 pounds sometimes have additional health problems. Yorkies have silky, long coats that require frequent brushing.
